"""I have been dreaming of having my own line of cast iron since I started my restaurant. I just adore the way it holds heat like nobodys business, and allows me to slow-cook and simmer everything from soups to stews, to hearty chili and braises. It just get better and better with time."" - Paula Deen Features: Pre-seasoned and ready to use right away - no seasoning is needed like traditional cast iron cookware. Cast iron really holds in the heat, ensuring that food remains hot. Great for slow-cooking! Spacious loop handles are easy to grip confidently, even with bulky potholders. Broiler safe."

This is a very good quality dutch oven that is pre-seasoned cast iron. very versatile and attractive too. Sent as a gift to my daughter. She loves it!
